Thanks for the link.

Reading it, I'm reminded of the cvars system id was using *ages* ago. Not 
exactly the same thing, but doesn't have the downsides of the suggested 
approach.

It's basically a very slick argument for interactive coding.  His demos are
all pretty neat but you have to watch it to get the full effect.

A word of warning though.  He goes on, and on, and on about the philosophy
of design in a rather self important way that I don't think our profession
of software developers deserves (over other makers of tools).  Can you
imagine the manufacturer of a hammer spending hours talking about the
philosophy of tool design and the unique connection between the the hammer
and the hammerer that some change to the tool fosters? Instead they just
list concrete improvements; more durable, better striking head, lighter
weight, etc.

Apple has really done a number on the minds and egos of young designers
(for better or worse).

You when you use RAD, you edit the properties on the property tab. Then 
you see the immediate result in the form. Because you edit the properties.

Well here it is not the editing in the property tab but directly in the 
code itself. I know it's weird. Like the colour you get a drop down list
in the code. Or a slider that pops up in the code to modify the value. 
Totally weird.

Great presentation. Loved the technical demonstrations, 
definitely a window into the future of software design. Even the 
philosophical portion was pretty concrete and well presented.
